Happy 4th of July

We started the morning out driving 45 min away to a town called Wisbech, to a bedding store. I got some curtains finally, and few other things for the house. There was a McDonalds right next door, so we ate lunch, it's better than the states, but Korea still wins my vote for McDonalds. We also stopped in a shoe store to get Aiden some water shoes for water play at the CDC. After a very quick run in the Tesco, we drove home. My buddy Les called me at some point and left a message about going to the base carnival. Once we got home and talked to them, we met up at Feltwell. It was crazy busy with rides and games..it was just like the county fair. Aiden started on the trampoline thing that has the bungie cords and jumped for a few. Then we went through the haunted house (he was scared the whole time) and then we went on the gravitron thing. Well I decided it would be fun for us all to go on that, (myself and Aiden, Les and his g/f Erica, and their 2 hungover, yet still drinking friends). That probably wasn't the best idea, not only was Aiden scared to death, but I felt like I might be sick too, I'm definately getting too old for some of it. Aiden did a couple a kid rides, we got cotton candy and ice cream and walked around a bit. I was trying to avoid him seeing the bouncy house area, but he finally did. They had 5 or so bouncies set up, and an infaltable rock climbing wall, he did them. Around 5pm we decided to leave and go to Erica's house in New Market to BBQ, and avoid the mass crowds that were still showing up. We got down there, cooked and ate, then walked across the street the the Heath to let the dogs run. It's a huge (miles at least) grass field with a couple of courses they use to train the race horses. New Market is super famous for it's race horses, and the town revolves around them. We let the dogs and Aiden run for a bit, the went back to the house and hung out until it was about dark. I wanted to time it so we could see the fireworks on our way home, but as always we didn't get out of there in enough time, there's always next year though.
We had a good day, Aiden had a lot of fun.
